This $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in an agricultural program in Maryland during the 2008-2009 school year. The scholarship was established by the family and friends of Dr. Seibel in recognition of his 26 years of service as Director of the University of Maryland’s Institute of Applied Agriculture.
